Streszczenie
This article centres on the beginnings of the art of cinematography as
viewed from a philosophical perspective. Every art form has its
beginnings, and cinema is no exeption. Nevertheless, some film
theorists, as Jean Louis Baundry, have challenged this view: cinema has
no genesis and no single discovery from which it sprung. The purpose
of this article is to analyse these arguments in the light of the theories
found in Greek philosophy.
